Abstract EN
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the major cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults and may be secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus or malignancy in 25% of patients.
Without any etiology, it is called primary MN, which is usually associated with phospholipase A2 (PLA2) receptor antibodies.
Secondary MN can appear months before a secondary cause is identified.
Here, we report a case of MN, that was found to be secondary to pancreatic adenocarcinoma and positive for PLA2 receptor antibodies.
